This sign required me to make two u-turns on the highway in order to get the photo. I never once asked myself if the resulting photo would justify that kind of driving.

Two Stories
I was around behind an out-of-business place, because of course I was. Otherwise, how would I have ever spotted this magical scene of a pickup cab sitting atop its own bed?

Laundry Day
In 2015, I spent a glorious two weeks in Nova Scotia, making photos. I made a LOT of them. Everywhere we went, we saw laundry hanging out to dry. I wanted a photo of someone’s laundry and I tried and tried but left for home without The Laundry Photo that I wanted.
So, time passed…the way it does.
And last month I was someplace less maritime than Nova Scotia – San Jon, New Mexico, to be precise – but that still provided me many opportunities to make the kind of photos I love to make.
And, also, finally: I got a picture of some laundry hanging out to dry.

Street-Stove
Because I am out of commission for a while (I got a new knee the other day), I spent a couple of month’s of weekends photographing like a crazy person – I wanted to have enough images to stock the blog during recuperation. I felt like I owed that to my reader(s).
So, on one of those drive-abouts, I went to Earth. The town of Earth, I mean. And while I was there, I spotted the elusive street-stove!

it depends on the way that you see
This cemetery had one of the few expressly-designated paupers areas that I have ever seen. Most of the markers in that part of the cemetery were non-existent and the simple concrete markers on the rest of them had eroded to the point where the graves were mostly just marked by pieces of rebar.
